How it's used

Focuses specifically on the physical appearance of puffiness or dark circles under the eyes caused by fatigue or aging. It is frequently used in casual conversation to comment on someone's health or sleep quality. Unlike formal medical terms, this phrasing is direct and often implies that the person looks worn out.

Examples

Have you been very tired lately? Why do you have eye bags?

Common phrases

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe dark circles alone, as it specifically refers to the physical protrusion or puffiness under the eyes. For dark circles, use 黑眼圈 instead.
